Moussaoui Judge Defends Courts Ability to Handle Terror Trials

U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema defended the federal courts' ability to handle terror trials while condemning the government's decision to seek a death sentence for Zacarias Moussaoui as politically motivated. In addition, Judge Brinkema said the idea of a national security court should "send shivers down the spine of everyone" and criticized the use of torture to obtain evidence because "coerced testimony is inherently unreliable."
